Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	accept(Object object)
ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context	createContext()	Creates a new marshalling context
default String	getName()	Override this method if you want multiple marshalling strategies of the same implementation in environment
default String	getType(Class<?> clazz)
byte[]	marshal(ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context context, ObjectOutputStream os, Object object)	This method is analogous to the write() method, but instead of writing the object into an output stream, it returns the marshalled object as a byte[].
Object	unmarshal(String dataType, ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context context, ObjectInputStream is, byte[] object, ClassLoader classloader)	This method is analogous to the read method, but instead of reading it from an input stream, it reads it from a byte[]

Method Detail

getName

default String getName()

Override this method if you want multiple marshalling strategies of the same implementation in environment

Returns:

the unique name in runtime environment of the ObjectMarshallingStrategy

accept

boolean accept(Object object)

marshal

byte[] marshal(ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context context,
               ObjectOutputStream os,
               Object object)
        throws IOException

This method is analogous to the write() method, but instead of writing the object into an output stream, it returns the marshalled object as a byte[].

Parameters:

context - the context for this strategy created by the method #createContext()

object - the object to be marshalled

Returns:

the marshalled byte[] of the input object

Throws:

IOException

unmarshal

Object unmarshal(String dataType,
                 ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context context,
                 ObjectInputStream is,
                 byte[] object,
                 ClassLoader classloader)
          throws IOException,
                 ClassNotFoundException

This method is analogous to the read method, but instead of reading it from an input stream, it reads it from a byte[]

Parameters:

context - the context for this strategy created by the method #createContext()

object - the marshalled object in a byte[]

Returns:

the unmarshalled Object

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

createContext

ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context createContext()

Creates a new marshalling context

getType

default String getType(Class<?> clazz)
